Can I say I'm not okay?
Can I say I'm not okay?
Is it not the way
one is supposed to sway
Steeped in sin
Bruises formed within
How do you win?
Can I say I'm not okay?
Will my grieves see the light of day
Silent cries
Empty lies
Soon another dies
Can I say I'm not okay?
How long do you expect me to stay
Blur and innocent
Airily reticent
Have I not learnt?
Can I say I'm not okay?
Why do I worry about "they"
No release
Just appease
Lest' you be tease

Loved this poem. Really. If brings out the stuffed up feelings of resentment on people. Their expectations. People are so irresponsible some times. Once they get used to you, they take you for granted, and expect things from you, never to consider the consequence, the impact, and the sacrifices you have to make for them. Yet, somehow you can say no to them. It makes you appear selfish and arrogant if you do that. Sigh.
Once again, it's really a wonderful poem. Love the repetition you used to emphasise your point. Good job! Keep it up!
Thanks loads. Yeah, poems are a good way of expressing myself when i don't really know how else to. Just one of my rare attempts at creative expression again i guess. Thnx for comin back to this site. Your poems are pretty good too albeit with a lot more depth sometimes.
I'm not okay. Who's okay in this world, so filled with sin and evil desires? But I'm afraid to say I'm not okay. Oh, how I wish I could tell the world! Fear of being honest. Fear of others' judgement. Fear that I'm not what I should be. Fear that I'm not good enough.
I can say I'm okay. Only because God is in control. I need His grace each day. I need His grace to let others know I'm not okay, but He who lives in me will help me survive. I need His grace to show others that I'm standing only because He is holding me.
well said,...thanks for the reminder that no one is okay. Truly wish to be able to stand with God's grace that i may help others who lack it.
